A NEW system which allows members of An Garda Síochána to quickly and easily identify uninsured vehicles has been formally launched this morning.
More than 13,000 Gardaí working nationwide can now check a vehicle insurance status while on the roadside by checking its registration on the Garda Mobility App.
Following its introduction, the new system has led to the seizure of 7,307 vehicles since January 2024, with 1,840 vehicles being seized in the month of April only, relating to no insurance.

Driving a vehicle without insurance is against the law and perpetrators can face significant penalties, including having their vehicle seized on the spot, a court appearance, five penalty points as well as significant fines.
